The Country, Not the Fish

The time for departure has come, Can you believe it? It's off to Wales I go, The country, not the fish! It'll be 25 hours worth of flying And layovers... (I too question my sanity) But what fun it will be To defy gravity so effortlessly! I've never flown before So wish me the best of luck I hope my debit gets accepted Because I'm bringing digits not bucks! My uncle, aunt and cousin will greet me When I get there, As I take it all in, at long last breathing, That European air! You're probably thinking geez, another rhyme! What is it with this guy? But you see I just recently purchased my ticket So... bye bye! I've been saving my money A couple years for this! So it's off to Wales I go, The country, not the fish! NOTE: I'm very happy to say that this is not fictional on my part. I'm actually going to the UK in none other than 5 days!! I'm very excited and wanted to let everyone know that I'll be on this trip for a good three and a half weeks (so I will not have a lot of time to get on P-Soup... but rest assured I have not left the site!)

Cute one Timothy! Glad to hear you had a great time there. I'm planning a trip with a friend over to Europe(England specifically, but haven't planned where exactly)...hoping it'll be next year, as we have always had a thirst for travel. Hope your flight didn't drive ya too crazy!! : ) Always, Laura

I'm kind of OCD when it comes to writing! Thanks for the good wishes... I plan on this trip to be quite the experience :D
